INGREDIENTS

Dough

1 cup mashed potatoes
1 T oil
1 t salt
3 cups unbleached flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 cup cold water
Filling
1 cup chopped onions
2 T oil
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
1 1/2 cups mashed tofu
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t black pepper

METHOD

Prepare 2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes. To make the dough, beat together 1 cup of the mashed potatoes, the 1 T oil and the salt. Add the flour and baking powder and mix well. Mix in the water and knead into a smooth dough. Let rest on a board covered with a cloth for 1/2 hour.

To make the filling, saut� the onions in the T oil until transparent. Mix together with the rest of the filling ingredients.

Cut the dough into 4 sections, then roll each section as thin as possible (about 1/16 inch / 1.6 mm thick). Cut into 5 x 6 inch (13 x 15 cm) rectangles. Place 2 or 3 T of filling in the middle of each rectangle. Fold the sides in first, then the ends.

Place folded side down on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake at 350F/180C for 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve with horseradish or mustard.
